Gucci Pour Homme II or Allure Edition Blanche

Hey guys,

I am in need of a new spring/summer fragrance.

I first wanted to purchase Allure Edition Blanche. Nevertheless, I found a 100ml bottle of Gucci Pour Homme II for a cheaper price. The problem is that I have never sampled the Gucci and the store that carries it does not have a tester..

Edition Blanche. The creamy lemon is great in spring & summer. GPH II is more for a romantic evening. Its awful projection doesnt let anyone smell it on you unless he/she comes extremely close to the point where you applied the fragrance.

Not only do I own both, but I own backup bottle of both (just in case!). That is how much I love both of these.

I voted for the Chanel, simply because you said you were looking for a spring / summer fragrance. I think EB is better for warmer weather. GPHII would probably have been my choice if you said Fall / Winter.

I would never want to be without either myself.

Edition Blanche is not a flanker - except in name. There is very little in common between Allure and the other Chanel fragrances using the Allure name.

Yeah -- it's weird. I find all the other 'Allures' quite repulsive but AEB sort of bucks the trend as a 'stand-alone'.

i got 4-6 hours longevity from it, and that was - to my surprise - good, since I disliked the ginger note I got from it, almost a bit similar to the ginger note I got from YSL L'Homme Libre, a frag I also sold ASAP.

Chanel Allure Homme Edition Blanche is a master piece - and if it were bottled as a niche frag, far more basenoters would rave about it.....trust me
